The hotel is set in beautiful grounds by the loch, offering a picturesque location, but it can be tricky to access with limited nearby amenities. The service could be improved regarding coordination for special requests but overall is satisfactory. The dining experience includes hot made-to-order selections but lacks variety in choices. The rooms boast amazing views, ensuring a comfortable stay with provided toiletries, however, the value for money may not be optimal.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms offered beautiful views and were spacious but lacked a bigger bed as desired. The fireplace added a cozy touch, but the location being far from Inverness made getting around a bit tricky. The service was good overall, but there were some coordination issues with the bar staff that affected our whisky tasting experience. The surroundings were lovely, great for hikes, but being far from the city center could be inconvenient. The dining experience was pleasant with hot selections made to order but lacked some standout signature dishes. The facilities were decent, offering necessary amenities.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel is beautifully situated on the loch, surrounded by stunning grounds. The rooms are cozy with lovely views and all the amenities you need. The service was attentive, although a bit of miscommunication affected our whisky tasting. The dining experience was exceptional, featuring delicious hot selections made to order with local products. A truly memorable experience overall!
The hotel offers fantastic views and a good shower but could improve on better coordination with the bar staff.
